Pear-Ginger Simple Syrup

Servings: 16 ounces

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups plus 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup chopped pear
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger about one-inch
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

  • Slice the pear and ginger. I used Asian pear, but any type will work.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of sugar in a saucepot with the pear and ginger. Cook down for about five minutes, until tender.
  • Add 1 ½ cups sugar, water, cinnamon stick and salt to the pot and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. If you want more intense flavors, you can let the mixture cool for 30 minutes.
  • Strain the liquid twice to remove the fruit and cinnamon stick. Pour the cooled mixture into a bottle or pitcher.
